Power Conservation Tips

The following tips can help ensure the longest possible battery run time for your system batteries.

!Change the display color depth setting from 16-million colors to 64K colors. This change is not detectable in non-graphics applications, and expends less power. The system default setting is 16M colors.

!Install the LongRun™ utility, which is described in more detail later in this document. You can use the LongRun utility to force the processor to run at a slower speed, extending battery run time.

!Note that add-in PC Cards increase battery usage, reducing battery run time.

!Keep the unit fully charged when working near available AC power.
